Tue Nov 3 – Block Island Fall Jumbo Porgies & Knothead Sea Bass
Capt Dave reports an excellent day of fishing on the Viking Starship! It was slower close to the island today because conditions weren’t quite right, so we got out of there pretty quick. We went south and made two drops out in the deep. There were nice size Porgies and Sea Bass along with a bunch of Mackerel. It was one of the better days in awhile. The First Place pool winner was Mr. Lee from Brooklyn, NY with a 3 lb Porgy. The edible pool winner was Dung Lou from Staten Island, NY with a 4 lb Sea Bass.

Captain JR reports a great day of catching onboard the Viking Star. Sea Bass fishing was fantastic with everyone getting a beautiful catch of big knot heads. The blackfish were being picky.
